Blaricum is just a village not far from Amsterdam,just that.
The RF doesn't do different villages or such each Christmas,no.
It had to do with celebrating Christmas Eve with Mabel and her
family.A good ,warm family gettogether in the festive season.
So,just the eve of the 24th,I didn't say all of Christmas.

I am from Singapore and wondering is there any visit schedule release for the State visit to Singapore by HM The Queen and The Prince and Princess of Orange from 24 to 25 January 2013?

I like to take leave from work to see them so any information will be appreciated. In Singapore, we do not get any prior info about Royal visit from our government except last year, when British High Commission here decided to release information for public to meet the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge when they were here on behalf of HM Queen Elizabeth's Jubilee.

How nice to see Mabel with the Queen.

[Marengo]

Great to see princess Mabel laughing. And also nice that all the van Vollenhovens attended (except prince Floris). This is the first time since ages that we see princess Anita again, so her health must have improved.

Is the Queen wearing the same outfit as she wore forthe abdication announcement?

If Mabel's smile could be a sign for an improvement of Friso?!?

I wish them all the best, especially for Beatrix and Mabel.

i am also very happy to see mabel out and about and smiling. her excellent relationship with the queen is obvious, but then again beatrix seems to get along with maxima and laurentien extremely well also. but undoubtedly, friso's accident made them bond even more.

i was surprised to see how aged marilene's face looks. i really like maxima's pale pink dress, very understated, and her look at WA when he was saying it was a pleasure to follow his mother's steps.

AFAIK Princess Marilene is (or was?) a chain smoker, so that may have something to do with it.
